block: add a bio_init_inline helper

2025-09-09T13:31:59+00:00

Just a simpler wrapper around bio_init for callers that want to initialize a bio with inline bvecs. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: John Garry Reviewed-by: Yu Kuai Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: pass a block_device and opf to bio_init

2022-02-02T14:49:59+00:00

Pass the block_device that we plan to use this bio for and the operation to bio_init to optimize the assignment. A NULL block_device can be passed, both for the passthrough case on a raw request_queue and to temporarily avoid refactoring some nasty code.

bcache: remove embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set

2020-10-02T20:25:30+00:00

Since bcache code was merged into mainline kerrnel, each cache set only as one single cache in it. The multiple caches framework is here but the code is far from completed. Considering the multiple copies of cached data can also be stored on e.g. md raid1 devices, it is unnecessary to support multiple caches in one cache set indeed. The previous preparation patches fix the dependencies of explicitly making a cache set only have single cache. Now we don't have to maintain an embedded partial super block in struct cache_set, the in-memory super block can be directly referenced from struct cache. This patch removes the embedded struct cache_sb from struct cache_set, and fixes all locations where the superb lock was referenced from this removed super block by referencing the in-memory super block of struct cache.

bcache: avoid extra memory consumption in struct bbio for large bucket size

2020-07-25T13:38:21+00:00

Bcache uses struct bbio to do I/Os for meta data pages like uuids, disk_buckets, prio_buckets, and btree nodes. Example writing a btree node onto cache device, the process is, - Allocate a struct bbio from mempool c->bio_meta. - Inside struct bbio embedded a struct bio, initialize bi_inline_vecs for this embedded bio. - Call bch_bio_map() to map each meta data page to each bv from the inlined bi_io_vec table. - Call bch_submit_bbio() to submit the bio into underlying block layer. - When the I/O completed, only release the struct bbio, don't touch the reference counter of the meta data pages. The struct bbio is defined as, 738 struct bbio { 739 unsigned int submit_time_us; [snipped] 748 struct bio bio; 749 }; Because struct bio is embedded at the end of struct bbio, therefore the actual size of struct bbio is sizeof(struct bio) + size of the embedded bio->bi_inline_vecs. Now all the meta data bucket size are limited to meta_bucket_pages(), if the bucket size is large than meta_bucket_pages()*PAGE_SECTORS, rested space in the bucket is unused. Therefore the most used space in meta bucket is (1<bio_meta as, mempool_init_kmalloc_pool(&c->bio_meta, 2, sizeof(struct bbio) + sizeof(struct bio_vec) * bucket_pages(c)) It is too large, neither the Linux buddy allocator cannot allocate so much continuous pages, nor the extra allocated pages are wasted. This patch replace bucket_pages() to meta_bucket_pages() in two places, - In bch_cache_set_alloc(), when initialize mempool c->bio_meta, uses sizeof(struct bbio) + sizeof(struct bio_vec) * bucket_pages(c) to set the allocating object size. - In bch_bbio_alloc(), when calling bio_init() to set inline bvec talbe bi_inline_bvecs, uses meta_bucket_pages() to indicate number of the inline bio vencs number. Now the maximum size of embedded bio inside struct bbio exactly matches the limit of meta_bucket_pages(), no extra page wasted.

bcache: Convert pr_ uses to a more typical style

Miscellanea: o Convert bch_bkey_dump from multiple uses of pr_err to pr_cont as the earlier conversion was inappropriate done causing multiple lines to be emitted where only a single output line was desired o Use vsprintf extension %pV in bch_cache_set_error to avoid multiple line output where only a single line output was desired o Coalesce formats Fixes: 6ae63e3501c4 ("bcache: replace printk() by pr_*() routines") Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Coly Li Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

bcache: ignore read-ahead request failure on backing device

2019-06-28T13:39:14+00:00

When md raid device (e.g. raid456) is used as backing device, read-ahead requests on a degrading and recovering md raid device might be failured immediately by md raid code, but indeed this md raid array can still be read or write for normal I/O requests. Therefore such failed read-ahead request are not real hardware failure. Further more, after degrading and recovering accomplished, read-ahead requests will be handled by md raid array again. For such condition, I/O failures of read-ahead requests don't indicate real health status (because normal I/O still be served), they should not be counted into I/O error counter dc->io_errors. Since there is no simple way to detect whether the backing divice is a md raid device, this patch simply ignores I/O failures for read-ahead bios on backing device, to avoid bogus backing device failure on a degrading md raid array.
